The Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges pastiche, while not poifect, is funny and faithful, recreating slap-shtick (and sound effects!) and adding sharp one-liners. They deftly transpose Moe, Larry, and Curly and stories that could have graced their 1930s shorts (raise money to save an orphanage, stumble into a greedy wife's plot), onto the present and imagine how they'd interpret modern concepts ("farm-raised salmon"). A convergence of idiocy occurs when Moe eye-pokes the cast of Jersey Shore, and other Farrelly touches include newborns as squirt guns in a hospital melee. But Chris Diamantopoulos leads the cast as an amazing Moe; not only does he capture that cartoonish '30s body language, but he makes his face look like a fist. Will Sasso does a spirited Curly, but Sean Hayes doesn't rescue Larry from his status as nobody's favorite Stooge. The more vivid Larry is Larry David as vitriolic nun Sister Mary-Mengele.

Review: The Princess and the Frog Fans of traditional animation will be relieved to learn that 2004's Home on the Range was not the final nail in Disney's 2-D toon coffin.

Review: Amarcord In memory, Federico Fellini's 1973 work, an Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film, stands among his masterpieces. But seen today, Amarcord is something of a disappointment, clever and moving in places, but also sprawling, undisciplined, clumsy in patches, and decidedly overlong.

Review: A Single Man Christopher Isherwood published his novel about a middle-aged homosexual grieving for a lost lover, the frank depiction of gay desire scandalized some readers.

Review: Alpha and Omega If Lionsgate wants to take a bite out of the animated film market dominated by Pixar and Disney, it’ll have to do better than this toothless stray.

Review: I'm Still Here Only someone who’s unfamiliar with psychedelic treats and chemically induced psychosis could think I’m Still Here is anything but real.

Review: Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno This autopsy of an unfinished 1964 film by the great French director Henri-Georges Clouzot ( The Wages of Fear ) holds fascinations — and frustrations — for the avid franco-cinephile.

Review: Let Me In The vampire trend got a transfusion a couple of years ago with the tender, brutal, unforgettable exploration of innocence and evil in Swedish director Tomas Alfredson's Let the Right One In .

Review: The Social Network The ever unpredictable David Fincher, along with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, didn't try to go high tech with this monumental "bio-pic" about Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

REVIEW: IDENTITY THIEF | February 20, 2013 Seth Gordon directs this funny, though formulaic, mismatched-duo comedy in which Jason Bateman's straight-laced family man must nab Melissa McCarthy, the identity thief who has ruined his credit, and haul her from Florida to Denver for prosecution.

REVIEW: THE OSCAR NOMINATED SHORT FILMS: LIVE ACTION AND ANIMATED | January 30, 2013 Highlights of the live-action shorts include the beautifully direct performances by Somali refugees in "Asad," a contemporary story (with folkloric undertones) of a boy who wants to be a pirate; the del Toro–esque fantasy setting of "Death of a Shadow"; the blend of dark comedy and gritty drama in the New York story of a little girl and her black-sheep uncle, "Curfew"; and the warmth of memory giving way to cold reality for an elderly man in "Henry."

REVIEW: A LIAR'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY | January 25, 2013 The discovery of tapes of Graham Chapman reading from his 1980 A Liar’s Autobiography has made it possible for the expired Monty Python member to star, posthumously, in his own biopic.

REVIEW: PARENTAL GUIDANCE | January 02, 2013 Billy Crystal and Bette Midler star in what could have been a decent comedy, if director Andy Fickman hadn't made it such a tearjerker.
